I have a PQ5 Motherboard and an E7400 C2D and I want to overclock. I am a computer technician and I know my way around computers extremely well, but overclocking is new to me. I am learning hardware terms and types as fast as I can, but on this overclocking, I wanted some member input before I go and turn my processor into a melted slush.
Can someone tell me what I would need to do, and whats the most I could expect to gain out of this setup. I am able fill any requests for information and I would be happy to answer any questions.
Everything a body would need to know is posted below.

My System Information is as follows
Hopefully you can tell I am serious about this and regardless of what I get for responses, I plan on attempting to overclock anyways, so any help would be awesome, as I am a 100% noob on overclocking
and one more thing, if you specify something like "change your FSB" or "increase your voltage" please supply some simple instructions on how to do whatever it is you are suggesting, as the bios is one place I do not have extensive knowledge. [lol, and I would rather not be constantly rebooting... =P]
